A creature called Rob Landley screamed at Peter Hansen:

 RL> In unix, the period is considered a normal part of the
 RL> filename.  Thus you can have two distinct files called
 RL> "spam" and "spam."

 RL> In OS/2, under HPFS, I believe it works like unix.

   Nope.  I just copied a file to two names, spam and spam. and they were
both the same file.  OS/2 ignores the trailing . just like DOS does, on
both FAT and HPFS.
